BOCC to Hold Special Session at 10 a.m. on Friday, October 14 for Meeting with AG Stein

Durham, N.C. - The Durham Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) have scheduled a Special Session on Friday, October 14, 2022, beginning at 10 a.m. During this meeting, the Board will meet with North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein to highlight local efforts to fight the opioid epidemic.

The session will be held inside Commissioners Chambers, located on the second floor of the Administration I Building at 200 E. Main Street. Residents are welcome to attend in person or watch the meeting on the County's website here<https://bit.ly/BOCCdco>.

Attorney General Stein was a lead negotiator in securing a $26 billion opioid agreement with the nation's three major pharmaceutical distributors - Cardinal, McKesson, and AmerisourceBergen - and Johnson & Johnson. North Carolina's local governments have been sent the first and second payments from the settlement. These funds will go toward addressing the opioid epidemic in communities across North Carolina. In addition to the $26 billion deal, Attorney General Stein also reached three agreements in principle with other drug makers that total more than $7 billion.

Stein will be joined by Durham County Sheriff Clarence F. Birkhead, Durham County District Attorney Satana Deberry, and other Durham County officials.
